What is the approximate CTP cost for a 33 skyline? seems to work different to VIC where you pay it in your rego and you have no choice as to who you use (has to be TAC in VIC).

Here it seems you have to nominate who you wish to provide that. Right?

Just wondering how much it will cost to get my rego changed to QLD basically.

You get to choose your CTP insurance company but the price is fixed between all companies, its regulated by the QLD government. Sometimes companies give you discounts on your other insurance if you choose them for your CTP. I think (like MJ said) 12 months rego was about $620ish last time.

Thats very expensive actually.. its $520 in VIC and that includes CTP (although in VIC its called it personal injury insurance or something). Looking at suncorp, its like $357, so plus the $325 for the rego = $682! It really costs you guys that much to keep a car on the road??

But thanks, guess i'll have to pay it sometime :D

I just registered a 34 GTR today. CTP was $357 for 12 months. I don't have the exact amount for rego (also paid stamp duty/cost of plates etc. at the same time) but I received the CTP amount as a rebate on my rego. The rego on my 33 GTR was about $680 from memory.

Thats why all the big car rental companies up here register their cars in Victoria. Have a look in their lots, you won't see one car in their registered in Queensland even though the cars spend their working lives up here, why would you if you had the choice.

Even VIC keeps going up and up by about $40 a year and I thought that was expensive. I remember about 7 years ago i was paying $360 i think for full rego for a year in VIC.

I now see why there are no really cheap cars for like $1000 (or less) like you can find in other parts of the country. Then again it would probably drive a lot of the old rust buckets off the road up here which is sometimes a good thing.

I live in qld but register the car in nsw. costs me $480/yr ($220 CTP NRMA - cheapest - and $260 rego). In nsw it goes by the weight of your car, and i was able to prove that my R33 weighed 1350kg which put it in a lower bracket than most 6cyl cars. A nice $200 saving over qld rego.....

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
